         <p>MADSEN ASTERA CLINICAL AUDIOMETER. 17 YEARS OF PC-BASED KNOWLEDGE </p>
         <p>There are good reasons to choose the MADSEN®Astera as your new clinical audiometer. It supports the entire client journey, from diagnostics and counsel- ing, to fitting and verification. The Astera was launched in 2008 and builds on the strong legacy of the MADSEN company that is part of Otometrics. Today the Astera is the leader in hearing assessment in the US. </p>
         <p>EASY INTEGRATION WITH OTHER PROCESSES FOR SEAMLESS WORKFLOW </p>
         <p>The Astera is part of the OTOsuite universe which means the audiometric workflow easily integrates with the immittance and fitting testing processes. This allows you to perform audiometry, fitting, counseling and verification in a seamless workflow. One-click data logging, combined immittance and audiometry reporting contribute to a more efficient testing process and helps eliminate paperwork. </p>
         <p>PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT – EMR/EHR-READY </p>
         <p>The Astera enables you to work with precision and flexibility, whether you practice in a major health care facility or a one-person office. It combines the best features of traditional, stand-alone audiometers and newer PC-based systems making the transition to PC-based audiometry easy and safe. You can store, share and report all data in our OTOsuite software (put in link to OTOsuite full text) universe or integrate directly with NOAH and Electronic Medical Records (EMR). It’s intuitive, easy to learn and easy to use. Unlike most traditional clinical audiometers in use today, Astera users will enjoy the benefits of software upgrades over the life of their equipment. Did you know? Astera is also QUASAR compatible. </p>
         <p>MULTIPLE USERS CAN EACH ENJOY THEIR OWN CUSTOMIZED INTERFACE </p>
         <p>The development of the MADSEN Astera has been a joint effort between strong research and development teams in the United States and in Denmark. We spent a significant amount of time to bring as much of your input as a user into defining the new solution. We learned that a large proportion of audiologists still prefer to work with a stand-alone audiometer, whereas another large part prefers to use a PC-based audiometer and all the additional possibilities this gives. So why not let you decide for yourself what is preferred and most appropriate for your particular clinical test? This approach has been a guiding prin- ciple throughout the entire development process. We believe that good design is very much about the practical aspect – the system has to adjust to your need and way of working. For example, the Astera can be customized by individual users. This feature quickly lets you define your own favorite test settings and se- quences without the need to reset the unit each time it is used. And because the unit combines traditional stand-alone audiometers with the newer PC-based software, it can operate through the familiar user interface of the Audiometer Control Panel or the PC keyboard or mouse. Astera is truly my audiometer! </p>
